be safely burned either inside of a building or on the exterior thereof.

Another object of this invention is to pro vide a burner of this kindwhich is relatively simple in construction and wherein the parts thereofmay be readily disassembled for the following detailed description ofthe cleaning thereof.

The above and various other objects and advantages of this inventionwill in part be described in and in part be understood from presentpreferred embodiment, the same being illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing,

wherein Figure 1 is a vertical section taken substantially through thecenter of a device constructed according to the preferred embodiment ofthis invention, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals of reference designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views, the nu-' meral 10designates generally a 'rubbishreceiver of substantially cylindricalconstruction which is provided adjacent the upper edge thereof with anoutlet 11 which may be connected to a conventional smoke pipe or thelike, or where the device is disposed on the exterior of a building, theoutlet 11 may be left open to the atmosphere. A base 12 is disposedbelow the rubbish receiver 10, this base 12 having a diametersubstantially in excess of the diameter of the receiver 10, and asupporting screen structure, generally designated as 14, is interposedbetween the top of the ash receiver 12 and the lower end of the rubbishreceiver 10. This lower end of the receiver 10 is purposely open and theupper end of the ash receiver 12 is also open.

The screen supporting member 14 comprises a substantially disk-likecentral portion 15 which is inclined upwardly at the marginal edgeportions thereof, as designated at 16, this inclined portion 16terminating in a bead 17 or the like which is adapted to engage thebeaded upper edge 18 of the ash receiver 12 so as to prevent thedownward movement of the screen 14 in'the ash receiver, and soas tosupport the rubbish container 10 on the upper end of this receiver, the

.wall ofthe rubbish container-1O being spaced inwardly from the wall ,ofthe ash receiver 12. Preferably, the rubbish receiver 10 is constructedof sheet metal and the loweredge thereof is rolled or beaded, as at 19.The space between the rubbish receiver 10 and the-ash receiver 12constitutes a draft for admission "of air into the bottom of the rubbishreceiver 10. I

A flanged cover or lid 20 havinga handle or bail 21 is removably mountedon the upper end of the rubbish receiver 10, this lid 20 having a beadedlower'edge portion 22 which is adapted to engage about the beaded upperend 23 of the rubbish receiver 10. v

It will be obvious from the foregoing that the burner hereinbeforedescribed may be constructed out of sheet metal or the like so that thedevices may be readily transported and that the device may be readilytaken apart when not in use. The ash receiver 12 is constructed in theform of a cup or the like so as to retain all of the ashes droppingthrough the screen 14. r Y In the'use of this device, the rubbishreceiver 10 may be mounted on the screen 14 which isfalso mounted on thetop-of the ash receiver 12. V The desired rubbish may be placed in'thereceiver 10 after removing the lid 20. It will, of course, beunderstoodthat the rubbish placed within the receiver lO'is of a combustiblenature and after the material has been lighted, the lid 21 may be placedon the top of the rubbish receiver 10, whereupon the rubbish thereinwill burn, the ashes dropping into the receiver 12. Due to the fact thatthe diameter of the rubbish receiver 10 is less than the ash receiver 12and that the screen 14 supports the receiver 10 on the receiver 12, adraft of air will enter the bottom of the receiver 10 and pass upwardlythere through and out through the outlet 11.

It is, of course, understood that various changes and modifications maybe made in the details of construction and design of the 0 signature.

above specifically described embodiment of this invention withoutdeparting from the spirit thereof, such changes and modifications beingrestricted only by the scope of the following claims. a

I claim 1. An incinerator ofthe character described comprising acylindrical burner hav- 1ng open upper and lower end portions, an outletpipe connected to the burner member adjacent the upper end' thereof, anopen top" ash receiver disposed beneath theburner and having a diametergreater than the diameter of the burner, and a grate member mounted onthe upper end of the ash receiver and engaging the lower end of theburner, said grate comprising a flat central portion and an invertedfrustro-conical outer edge engaging the upper edge of said ash receiver.

2. An mclnerator of the character described comprising a substantiallycylindrical burner, an outlet pipe connected to the burner adjacent theupper end thereof, a removable lid for closing the upper end of theburner, an open top ash receiver having a diameter greater than thediameter of the burner, and a grate element mounted on the upper end ofthe ash receiver and havinga portion thereof extending downwardlythereinto, said grate being adapted to support the burner on the upperend of the ash recelver, said grate comprising a fiat central portionand an inverted frustro-conical outer edge engaging the upper edge ofsaid ash receiver.

3. An incinerator of the character described comprising a cylindricalburner hav ing open upper and lower end portions, said burner having anoutlet adjacent the upper end thereof, an open top ash receiver having adiameter greater than the diameter of the burner, a c grate elementinterposed between the ash receiverand the burner and supporting theburner on the upper surface-of the ash receiver, said grate elementhaving upwardly extending marginal portions whereby to dispose the lowerend of the burner at a point below the top of the ash receiver, and a Ilid for closing the upper end of the burner.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my EDWARD KLINGBEIL.
